    I know - the way it’s looking at the moment we’ll be travelling by sledge rather than train 😩

    I know three girls who have got to WL finals this year and none of them are JAs, so you’re not outsiders xx

    Just got our no as expected! DD has a place already at her favourite school - Hammond - so will be fine! Now fingers crossed for a Mds or bursary ... good luck to those still waiting and congrats to the yeses! X

    And try and get feedback if it’s a no this time, I received some great advice following a no from another audition this month, which is really going to benefit DD. Good luck to those still waiting - we haven’t heard yet but truthfully not expecting a call back 😀 x

    Ah that’s fabulous news! X

    I agree, we did a festival solo that DD knew backwards so she had less to worry about on the day. She is an August baby too 😀.

    The character skirt has now been sold.

    My DD auditioned at elmhurst in November and got a no for finals, having seen the last ten minutes of the class I could understand why - the panel was spoilt for choice! The standard was incredibly high with some beautiful dancers. DD was fine as she realised they could only take a few, and if she wasn’t chosen it wasn’t that she wasn’t any good, just others on the day had more of the ‘something’ the panel was looking for. Well done to all through to the next round and hugs to the ‘not nows’ x

    I think photos are to help the panel remember who was who when they are making decisions after the audition. I think that if you apply for an associate audition you'll always be seen.

    Also The London Ballet Company has monthly classes at RAD in Battersea. My daughter loves this too as it has a more contemporary edge to mix things up.

    YDA associates is fab, there's also Ballet Boost in SW London.

    I would get in touch with them as we got a confirmation email last month - obviously an admin oversight! X

    I'm so sorry to hear her confidence is low, but getting to the finals is such an achievement in itself. As I see it LCB are looking for certain roles to be filled, and dancers who get cast aren't 'better' dancers, just fit what the panel is looking for in a particular year. I hope she can look back and see with hindsight how well she really did. Personally I think anyone who can dance in a room full of strangers, in front of panel of judges, is just amazing anyway! xx

    So exciting - well done to her!

    OMG DD got a yes for main cast
  18. margarite
    I'm sorry to hear that - I hope your DD will be ok. xx

    Anyone heard anything yet? DD's friend has heard by letter that she's got Main Cast which is fabulous news! Nothing for us yet ...

    We're doing Tring, Elmhurst, RBS and also YDA as she's an associate there. She's had a straight no for RBS JA's 2 years in a row, so not really thinking that's going to happen Tring was her favourite after attending the open day earlier this year, but now prefers Hammond (even before they said yes to her!). We've never visited Elmhurst so interested to see what that's like.

    Thank you all for your kind words and wishes, she is over the moon. She understands that there is still the funding audition to go, but I think she's just so made up to have got this far.
  22. margarite
    I'm not sure if it's usual as she has never auditioned there before - the letter was dated the 15th so was sent the day after the audition. We were told it would be a week!
  23. margarite
    Thank you! Fingers crossed for some funding now ...
  24. margarite
    Well, I think all your positive stories and vibes worked as she's been offered a place!!

    Thank you for sharing your stories, so brilliant so many have succeeded despite illness. One moment of light relief from yesterday that I keep giggling about: when asked by the physio if she'd ever had any serious injuries, DD replied that she'd sprained her little finger once... 😀 Not sure that's what the physio was expecting to hear!
